@cor12786. Welcome to 419legal, it would be nice if this was true !

Sorry, things do not work like this.

It is called a " recovery scam " if you continue you will be asked for "fee's" or charges to get your money back.

This one is quite sophisticated and has been done by a dangerous scammer, as he is on the ball with his scams.

Please do NOT answer or fall for this scam, as you will lose more money, guaranteed .

I have gotten a couple more emails from someone claiming to be and attorney. I was a little rude him when I contacted him because I was assuming he was a fraud. I can't tell if this is for real or not. I was a victim of online fraud about a month ago, and this guy seems to know that.


Hello Mr. Corey,

I am aware of this, because I got a contact from this commission regarding your fraud case. Is this how you address yourself? I do not work with people who cannot reason with me, or to co-operate, and if this is the way you will be addressing me, please let me know and contact the commission that I am not interested in your case. I have helped lots of people to recover their loss, with my level of professionalism, it's best we treat each other with respect.

I am very annoyed because of the fact that you got a referral from ICPC, to contact me, you didn't explain yourself, or introduce yourself. Well, I am Barrister Kingsley Onoya, and member of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and I will like you to know that Nigeria's constitutions, is in support of eradicating Nigerian Fraud.

According to the law, you, as a victim, you are entitled to a compensation by the Federal Government of Nigeria, once the accused criminal, can be proved guilty and convicted. Here, the compensation will be derived from all the confiscated property of the condemned which is, all landed property, both Houses, Companies etc bank and financial statements (bank account, shares or any form of monetary investments, which the culprit has in-possession). Once the Court have fully confiscated these properties, the court will pass an order for the government to compensate you with certain percentage(s) and as applied to our constitution, in the 1999 constitution on "War Against Corruption" sub-section 11, states that Victims of any related fraud (419) will be compensated by the Federal Government of Nigeria with 15% of all the total asset of the culprit confiscated by the government only, when prosecutor succeeds by law. So Mr. Corey, we have little or no time, because time is against us.

I have received a mail from the commission, sent through the postal service today, with all the evidence and information about you to prepare for this case. I have handled this matter before, so I am sure that we will win this case. If you have any information about this person, the fraudster, or any correspondent which you might have not sent, please I want you to confide in me, by sending everything, and letting me know everything. I will be needing your utmost responses to every contact, email, phone calls I make to you, so that I can work this case out easily. I will contact the Magistrate Court first thing tomorrow morning, to know if the culprit has already filed the case to court, but if not, I will do so, so that the court might send a compulsory appeal to the culprit's attorney.

Please give me a call, or email me anytime via email or phone below. P.s I do not have an identification of you, to identify you. The commission did not provide any in the file I received? To avoid time wasting, please send me one personally, and also a mobile phone number to reach you at anytime. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

This is the most recent email he sent me. He is asking for me to fill out a sheet with some information on like DOB, name, address, and signature. He sent me the first of 2 pages, and I asked to see the second, but he said it was only for him to use.

Well Mr. Corey,

It's best I let you know how this will go. If you believe that you do not trust any Nigerian, and you have doubts about this case, please why not let the commission know about it. Boldly tell them that you do not wish to carry on with this case. I do not like the way you respond to my emails, it's either you tell your government to pay you (which I'm sure that they have no provision for it).

We are trying our best to help you here, and our constitution has provision which you will reap and benefit from. No one is asking you to pay money. The commission has paid me fully for me to help you with your case, and if you do not wish to continue, it's not my business, I can't refund the payment, it will be un-professional. The case is set, I had to contact the Magistrate Court today to file the case, that's why I couldn't send you an email earlier. I will not make any attempt to call you, it may be a waste of time, because the way you are handling this case, but will call only if it is highly important. I have attached the prosecution form to this email, fill it,send it to me so that I can give it to the Court Magistrate before 7:00 am tomorrow.

Goodluck to you, Hope to hear from you soon.

@cor12786. This IS a recovery scam. If you do a Google search for this supposed lawyer it shows NO results.
YOU WILL NOT GET ANY MONEY BACK! Sorry but it will NOT happen.

This is RUBBISH no such constitution exists.

Please STOP all contact with this scammer, it is either the original scammer or a friend of his.

You did not include his email but it is very likely that it is a free one like yahoo or hotmail etc.

The desire to recover lost money is what he is working on, but it will NOT happen.

I have dealt with thousands of scammers and I do not know of ANY case where the victim got their money back.

I can understand the "yes but what if it is true " idea but it is NOT true, it is another scam .


Update a search on Google came back with this result:

That was my thought too. Thanks for the response. Nigerians, can you trust any of them?
